Course Overview
Most failures in leadership empathy trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in this strand of organisational leadership is earned separately. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the wider organisational leadership agenda, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. What blocks progress on leadership empathy is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of organisational leadership it covers ends in something applicable. Applied research in organisational leadership consistently shows that early structure around the organisational leadership discipline reduces downstream rework. The programme suits teams tackling leadership empathy together as readily as individuals attending alone. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of organisational leadership in terms that support a decision. The final session converts the week's work on the wider organisational leadership agenda into commitments with owners and dates.
